Junior Open 2017

Our Junior Open takes place on Friday 4th August 2017.

Our aim this year is to encourage as many juniors to participate in the event as possible as would encourage all juniors to enter this event. The junior section at Silloth is growing all the time. Our teaching professional Bev New and junior organiser Nicola Cusack have done a superb job with the juniors at Silloth and we now have dozens of eager, keen young golfers coming to coaching, competitions and fun days.

We would like to build on this success and hope this years junior open will attract many young golfers from around Cumbria and further afield.

This year there will be the opportunity for different standards of junior golfers to compete and enjoy our wonderful course.

There will be the main event (category A) which is open to junior golfers with an official handicap and this will be played off the yellow tees for boys and the red tees for girls.

There will be a seperate event for junior golfers who have handicaps from 36 - 54 (Category B) This will be a 9 hole event from either the green or black tees.

Finally there will be an event from the black tees for juniors with handicaps 55 and over (Category C). This will be from the black tees and will be over 6 holes.

This means that juniors of all ages and abilities can come to Silloth on Friday 4th August and take part in our Junior Open and experience all that Silloth on SOlway Golf Club has to offer.

“Please pass on our appreciation and thanks to everyone at the club for making us so welcome and at home. We all departed for home well satisfied with our day out – the value for money is second to none. We hope to return many more times..”

Martin Ball

Fantastic golf course, a great test of golf on a fantastic links course.Thoroughly enjoyed every yard of it.

Peter Norris

Great links course, which tests shot making ability. In the prevailing wind need to hang onto a score on the front 9, and take advantage on the back, apart from the very difficult S I 1 par 4 back into the wind.

Clubhouse very welcoming with relaxed dress code, good beer, and some of the best food served in a golf club.Overall highly recommend a visit.

Allan Thomson

Most golfers know about Silloth Golf course as one of the best in the UK, i've had the pleasure of playing it many times and we will be back again soon. Even the hailstones didn't stop our enjoyment of playing such a cracking course.

Robin Grant

Excellent links course. Well worth taking turn off at Carlisle

John Wheeler

The most beautiful, unique, and yet demanding traditional links golf course. A must for every lover of the game, don't let the travelling distance put you off this is a gem.

Frank McAleer

A fantastic and most interesting golf course. Be prepared for the unexpected.

Steve Hollis

My annual pilgrimage to Silloth has turned into a 10 man tour, focused on the Solway Firth. Outstanding in every way.

I've been hearing rave reviews about Silloth for a number of years, and after finally getting the opportunity to play there I could certainly see why. Terrific course and a great welcome- I can't wait to return

Robb Tapp

Simply stunning. From the warm welcome on arrival we were made to feel like it was our home course. The course was in great condition, you're well rewarded for good shots but it's brutal if you're wayward, exactly how links golf should be. Worth every minute of the long journey to play here. If you're thinking of playing here , book it, you won't be disappointed. The best value for money course I've ever played. Thanks for a great day.

Nicholas Sherriff

Very welcoming. Splendid course. Was guided by a member for several holes. Very adequate meal afterwards. Highly recommended. Great value. Well worth the drive.

Vince Froggatt

Just a quick note to express my thanks to all who made our visit to your wonderful golf club so enjoyable. Myself and 3 friends played your course on Friday last week and we all loved it. Everyone we met from the staff to the people on and around the golf course could not have been friendlier or more welcoming. The course itself is simply superb and a credit to those charged with its upkeep.

Thank you all for making our trip so enjoyable.

If Silloth on Solway Golf Club was anywhere else in the U.K. It would be far more expensive and much more difficult to get a tee time. One of my very favourite locations to play golf. The greens this year were as smooth and true as I have ever seen them.

Yowie Roberts

A long trip from Derbyshire but worth the effort; a fabulous course, great views and a friendly atmosphere.

Matthew Robison

Best value course in the UK i've played. An authentic links experience which held up really well in winter conditions. Memorable hole after memorable hole and a great Cumbrian welcome on arrival.

Glen Bevis

It is absolutely stunning. Every hole different (which is hard to do on a links), every hole beautiful.

Very challenging in places and the Par 5 13th was into the wind and is probably the hardest par 5 I've ever played

I played my best golf of the weekend and hit my highest score!

Silloth is a truly fantastic links course that is worthy of it's place in the rankings.

We were made to feel very welcome by the members and the Pro Simon and I will definitely be returning. Well worth the drive.

Aaron Stewart

I've just finished 18 holes at Silloth. I don't think I can remember a more enjoyable round of golf in recent years. Stunning layout, stunning condition, stunning scenery, what an amazing place. Many thanks.
